Rules for pluralizing nouns include adding 's' to words ending in consonant-vowel-consonant, adding 'es' to words ending in 'ch', 'o', 's', 'sh', or 'x', and adding 'ies' to words ending in a consonant + 'y'. Some irregular plurals are 'children', 'people', 'teeth', 'feet', 'men', and 'women'. Nouns ending in 'fe' or 'f' form plurals by adding 'ves' such as 'leaf' becoming 'leaves' and 'knife' becoming 'knives'.
